Moving on to Vienna and Berlin

Stay in dormir à Vienne was only for two days. But the city is worth more than that. With an elegant atmosphere, which is a combination of the present and the past, the city can charm everyone. Our Wochenende Wien was placed near the Ringstrasse or the inner circle of the city, where most of the famous attractions are located. Schoenbrunn Palace, Vienna State Opera, Mozarthaus Vienna, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Hundertwasserhaus, Museums Quartier and Liechtenstein Museum are some of the sights I visited during my weekend Vienna.



Berlin is a city of history, culture and entertainment. We were offered many examples of this during the vacation in Hotels in Berlin. Our Berlijn hotels was located near the center of the city, which gave us easy access to all the major sights of the city. Hotels in Milan had similar facilities like this accomodation. We took trips to the remians of the Berlin Wall and then to the Brandenburg Gate. Stopping in one of the cafes for a drink was also a great experience. Other sightseeing trips were to Schloss Charlottenburg, Museum Island, Checkpoint Charlie, Alexanderplatz, Reichtag and Potsdamer Square. Since our hotel book Berlin was placed near some of the interesting shopping areas, we didn't miss that either. Shopping in Paris and in Berlin can be very very interesting.

Budapest

budapest hotel

The next city on our cards was Budapest. The city was quite close to my mother's heart as she had spent few years of her childhood here. She gave me much information about the city on our way to hotel oferta Budapest. I was surprised to find the city charming and green with parks all over. Even the nightlife and the hospitality of the staff of our Budapest hôtel impressed me. Hotel Atlas, placed us in a central location and offered us well equipped rooms. Our stay here was very comfortable and pleasant. Attractions in Budapest were quite impressive.Most impressive sights in the city were, Royal Palace, National Gallery, Matthias Church and Historical Museum of Budapest. We also visited the Parliament Building, St. Stephen's Basilica, Great Synagogue and the Jewish Museum. What could be more relaxing then a leisurely river cruise along the Danube? For our meals, we mostly visited the cozy resturants and cafes of the city. During our stay in Budapest Hotels, we spent an evening strolling in Margaret Island, a tranquil spot, despite of being in a central position. For shopping we went to Ecseri Piac market on Nagykorösi, one of the largest flea markets in the whole of Central Europe. Over all our month long vacation was a great success.
